PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Tony Jaa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brian Penn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jaa comes to the cage accompanied by Anna Molly by Incubus. Penn has chosen Go To Church as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Tony Jaa has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Tony Jaa seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
